IFFY: A jury was unconvinced that WABC journalist George Weber (above) was killed by John Katehis.

A Brooklyn judge declared a bizarre mistrial yesterday after jurors failed to reach a decision in the trial of a teen accused of killing a radio newsman he met through Craigslist.

The panel sent a note to Judge Neil Firetog shortly before noon, saying they were unable to reach a unanimous decision on the fate of John Katehis, 18, who is charged in the March 2009 stabbing death of WABC Radio journalist George Weber, 47.

The note came nearly 24 hours after the jury told Firetog they were deadlocked.

After the latest note, Katehis’ attorney, Jeffrey Schwartz, moved for a mistrial, a motion that was granted — until Firetog left the court to talk to panel members in the jury room.

Firetog — despite already declaring the mistrial — returned and said the jurors wanted another crack at reaching a verdict.

“That’s crazy,” Schwartz thundered. “This is unconscionable.”

Despite the defense objection, the judge reversed himself and gave the panel more time — until jurors made a strange request. They wanted to talk to the lawyers.
